Here are some application examples of how SonTek/YSI acoustic Doppler
velocimeter
systems can be used to collect water velocity measurement data.

ADV Performance
Curves - Explains a methodology used by UIUC to resolve flow
turbulence.
Flow Field - Shows how a
MicroADV can be used to map the field flow around a dredge head in a laboratory environment.
Flume Studies - Shows how a
MicroADV was used to measure turbulence and mean flow over a flume water column by Wuhan
University (China).
Low-Flow Studies - Shows how
a MicroADV can be used for low-flow studies (example from laboratory research at the
Stennis Space Center in Mississippi).
Wave Basin Measurements -
Shows how several MicroADVs can be used to study currents generated in a wave basin
(example from U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Waterways Experiment Station, Vicksburg, Mississippi).
Wave Flume Measurements -
Shows how a MicroADV can be used to measure the orbital velocities of a wave field within a flume.
